I'd have to agree with Xray. There is no load on the transformer when the tubes are pulled. It should not get warm at all. If it does, there are shorted windings, or problems with connections. Take the bells off, and see if there is any evidence of arcing or shorted leads. Measure the AC voltage on all windings and see if they are correct.
